The Libertine | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Oscar? nominee* Johnny Depp delivers "a tour de force performance" (Baz Bamigboye, The Daily Mail) in The Libertine. As the celebrated writer and bad boy John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester, Depp brings to life a decadent 17th century London. There, Wilmot falls passionately in love with his aspiring actress muse (Oscar? nominee Samantha Morton**), but is cast from the heights of privileged society when he scandalizes King Charles II (Oscar? nominee John Malkovich***) with a shockingly audacious play. At the depths of ruin, the rebel seeks redemption on his own terms. "Johnny Depp is brilliant," raves Cosmopolitan, while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calls The Libertine a "one-of-a-kind spellbinder."
